Misfire ford ranger 2006
Most misfires are ignition related so it is worth checking spark plugs and spark power and quality. A bad misfire is likely to switch on a warning light and in that case a scanner could provide more information. A constant misfire on a single or a related pair of cylinders could be caused by injection or compression problems or perhaps even an air leak.
I once had an engine that misfired because one cam lobe had disappeared, completely worn away.
In most cases there is no shortcut and only a systematic approach to diagnosis will lead to success.
Disable autolocks
There is no easy way to fix disable them. the problem is most likely caused by a defective driver door switch panel.
Oil in water ford ranger 2.5 td
Watch your temperature gauges you might ave accidentally used an oil jug o put water in the radiator or You either have a blown head gasket or hate to say a cracked head or block! You can do a cylinder compression test to determine which cylinder but if you get a newspaper in the classifieds there are ads for blown head gasket repair kits they cost a couple hundred but are claiming to have a lifetime guarantee now as opposed to replacing the headsets and sending the head to be inspected you are looking at atleast a $300 bill or higher just for parts if you have a mechanic do it you can get ready to shell out about $600 easy labor and parts not including tax? Good luck! If you need further help, reach me via phone at

Ford Ranger diesel has noisy tappets until truck
Hi my name is Tom and I am here to help you.
I drove a diesel Chevy and had the same problem.
I reduced the noise by dropping my oil to a lower viscosity at the low end and keeping the high end the same. i.e. If O.E.M. recommends a 10W30 dropped to a 5W30. This will give you coverage at the high side and lower viscosity at the low end.
There are after market additives which are formulated to lubricate the tappets. Any parts store should be able to recommend which is best. Follow the instructions and do not add too much. They contain a "sticky" nature which could defeat the dropping of your lower viscosity.
I trust this answered your question. If I can be of further help, let me know.
